So you think you should be an anti-capitalist?!!!

Advantages: well balanced, extremely inciteful, visionary opinions
Disadvantages: before watching some may think it's a pointless globalisation rant

...humble beginnings to the effect they have on local and national concerns and (which is most interesting) how they perceive the future and their role in it 3) Featurettes on Marketing, advertising and corporations attempt to sell to people 4) Deleted scenes not deleted so much as they were crap (like most DVDs) but because they contains other concerns and / or information outside the scope of this DVD 5) Weblinks to many interest groups, companies etc 6) Making of sections CONCLUSIONS At £19.99 in most places for 2 discs this is a perfectly good price, when you see how much information and running times all the features take up you will think £19.99 is a bargain. So should you buy it? YES - you cannot rent this it is not a popcorn Bowling for Columbine documentary - if you have an interest in this area then you will want to refer...

Review of The Corporation (DVD)

Solid if derivative Gothenburg thrash

Advantages: Some good riffs, good vocals
Disadvantages: Fairly derivative and unoriginal

...Released in 2002, Corporation 187's 'Perfection in Pain' is a mixture of melodic death metal in the gothenburg vein and thrash, with the ten songs on offer all filled with angular, ascerbic riffs, chuggy, stop-start grooves and lamenting guitar solos, that remind of fellow swedes At The Gates, ('Slaugher of the Soul' era). The vocalist also does a fairly good job of impersonating At The Gates vocalist Tomas Lindberg, spewing forth some nasty abrasive, rasping screams over the galloping, despondent thrash riffs. The production is pretty good but perhaps a little tinny, and although the album is fairly well written and enjoyable there is a nagging feeling throughout that its all been done better elsewhere. It would be reasonable to say that the whole thing sounds like Slaugher of the Soul-lite, but given that that 'Slaughter...' was...

Review of Perfection In Pain - Corporation 187

The Best of Alternative

Advantages: Great for Alternative Music, Huge Venue, Cheap Drinks
Disadvantages: Sore Ear Drums, Flying Peircings

...When I first arrived in Sheffield I knew that the nightlife was, well, a tiny bit, good but I soon became disappointed as the clubbing seen was really set up for those who are in favour of dance and pop music. Our union had one night for those with a more alternative taste but this wasn’t up for much. I soon discovered a club in Sheffield called The Corporation, which ONLY catered for those with my kind of musical tastes. When I first went I was I found it suited what I was looking perfectly and I now like going there every week. The club is situated on Bank Street, one or two streets behind the cathedral and the first surprise you get is how big in is for a non-mainstream club. There are two huge rooms and it usually gets packed. Everything is suitably black and the sound system is very loud- just right for the kind of music...

Review of grc.com (Gibson Research Corporation)

A shock to the system.

Advantages: This film will tell you what big corporations are all about.
Disadvantages: It will scare you half to death.

...The theme is that the corporations running many aspects of our lives do not care about our health or well being in anyway, they are designed in such a way that the only thing that motivates the business machine is the pursuit of money for its share holders, infact under American law a corporation must not do anything that will lower its profits, an example of its zero morality: A certain American company (that is very very large today) made early computer products designed for managing the list of who should die in the nazi genocide of the jewish in WW2. This film is packed solid with with information that you cant help but remember, it goes through the creation of the corporation, how it established the rights of a human being in law! (using the law that was created to free slaves), its brutal effect on the enviroment and us (one...

Review of grc.com (Gibson Research Corporation)

What a great music

Advantages: Thievery Corporation at the best
Disadvantages: none

...Rob Garza and Eric Hilton deliver another opus of mixed genres like rock, breaks, future-bossa, dub, ethno… After excellent The Richest man in Babylon album in 2003, The Cosmic Game is expected step forward, and not just that, it is breathtaking musical experience for TC fan’s but surely will attract new ones. Thievery Corporation is one unusual duet. They mix, blend and experiment with music and the products is finest music you could hear this days. If you like down tempo, jazz, boss nova, samba, oriental ethno, reggae and rock music, just try to imagine all this on one album. Then add some guests like Perry Farrell, David Byrne, Gunyan, Loulou, Notch, Sleepy Wonder, Verny Varela, The Flaming Lips and few others you’ll have The Cosmic Game. Don’t let this make you think it is another remix type of album...

Review of America Unchained - Dave Gorman

Perfect, luxurious chillout

Advantages: Original, multi-cultural tunes and exotic interludes
Disadvantages: Occasionally sounds repetitive, bland product design

...The Thievery Corporation are an electronica duo based in Washington DC, "The Richest Man In Babylon" being their third full-length album. Their music boldly mixes many world music styles - including indian bhangra, brazilian bossa nova and reggae - all presented in a comforting lounge asthetic, perfect for lazy days or relaxing working music. The duo consists of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, who teamed up in 1995. You have undoubtedly heard many of their tunes, on tv shows, adverts & films (such as Vanilla Sky), and by listening to this album it's not difficult to see why they are so popular. They have evidently immersed themselves in a vast array of foreign cultures, fusing them together with modern elements such as acid jazz and funk, to create soulful & exotic masterpieces. In this way, it's almost impossible for their tracks not to...

Review of Richest Man In Babylon, The - Thievery Corporation

BBC equals Blooming Brilliant Corporation

Advantages: Value for money, rich content, no adverts
Disadvantages: Limited services to non-digital viewers/listeners

.... In-depth, efficient, quick, all served up 24 hours a day. I am hooked, and without it, I can't get the information I need. What people must understand how big the BBC actually is. It's a world-wide broadcaster, and 2 terrestrial channels in the UK are a very small part of the BBC as a corporation. This is why the fee is so high. And to expand...well some people must think that money grows on trees. It doesn't. If we closed the BBC tomorrow, it would be a disaster for Britain. And this is why the license fee is so very important....
